Consider a slight visual update to the New Tab page:

- Remove heavy shadows
- Make the buttons reasonably smaller so that more can fit at a smaller window size
- Consider making the bubbles circular for a more modern appearance since tiles can feel a bit heavier
- Use a lighter button color

Comp attached.

This visual design also adds more visual contrast between disabled and enabled items

I like it!

I can work on this, unless somebody else wants to jump in.

We may be removing this UI altogether. That said, the timeline for such a change is a bit up in the air and this is a big visual improvement in the meantime.

Nice work!
